The ‘Graying’ of ‘Green’ Zones: Spatial Governance and Irregular Settlement i...Graciela Mariani
El 'engrisamiento' de las zonas 'verdes' : Gobernanza espacial y asentamientos irregulares en Xochimilco, Ciudad de México
Jill Wiggle, Carleton University
Abstract
This article details the evolving social and spatial dynamics of a planning approach that
is now being used to regulate irregular or informal settlements in the conservation zone
of Xochimilco in the Federal District of Mexico City. As part of the elaboration of
‘normative’ planning policies and practices, this approach counts, maps and then
classifies irregular settlements into different categories with distinct land-use
regularization possibilities. These spatial calculations establish a continuum of ‘gray’
spaces, placing many settlements in a kind of planning limbo on so-called ‘green’
conservation land. The research suggests that these spatial calculations are now an
important part of enacting land-use planning and presenting a useful ‘technical’ veneer
through which the state negotiates competing claims to space. Based on a case study of an irregular settlement, the article examines how the state is implicated in the production and regulation of irregularity as part of a larger strategy of spatial governance. The research explores how planning ‘knowledges’and ‘techniques’help to create fragmented but ‘governable’ spaces that force communities to compete for land-use regularization.
The analysis raises questions about the conception of informality as something that,
among other things, simply takes place outside of the formal planning system.
Este documento describe diferentes tipos de semiconductores como diodos, LEDs, diodos zener, transistores, MOSFETs, SCRs y TRIACs. Explica sus funciones básicas como rectificación, conducción unidireccional, regulación de voltaje, amplificación y conmutación controlada. También describe puertas lógicas como AND, OR, NOT, NAND y NOR y sus funciones binarias.
The document invites students to learn about the Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) student organization by attending a meeting on Wednesday, October 1st during Academic or Activity Time in room F231. At the meeting, they will discuss FCCLA activities like STAR events, competitions, travel, community service, and healthy eating ideas. Students are also encouraged to check the FCCLA twitter page for more information.
This document summarizes the entries from Jonathan Davenport's diary chronicling events leading up to the American Revolution from the perspective of a loyalist to Britain. In the first entry dated April 4, 1770, Davenport expresses support for British soldiers who murdered colonists in Boston and disdain for patriots like Patrick Henry. He believes the colonies rightfully belong to King George. The second entry dated May 13, 1775 discusses the formation of the Second Continental Congress and Davenport's belief it will bring demise to the colonies' independence movement, which he feels will be rightfully crushed by King George.
